• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS063 - Deletion of HU on HU-required storage location not possible ?

  The SAP error message HUFUNCTIONS063 indicates that there is an attempt to delete a Handling Unit (HU) from a storage location that is marked as "HU-required." This means that the storage location is configured to require handling units for inventory management, and therefore, you cannot delete the HU directly from this location.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the storage location in question is set up to require handling units for managing inventory. When a storage location is configured this way, it enforces the use of handling units for all inventory transactions, including deletions. Attempting to delete an HU from such a location violates this configuration.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Storage Location Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the storage location in question. If it is indeed set to require handling units, you may need to either:
  
  Move the handling unit to a different storage location that does not require HUs.
  Change the configuration of the storage location if it is appropriate to do so (this may require consulting with your SAP configuration team).
  
  
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Process:
  
  Instead of deleting the HU directly, you may need to perform a different action, such as:
  
  Unloading the handling unit from the storage location.
  Transferring the handling unit to another location.
  Adjusting the inventory in a way that complies with the handling unit requirements.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Open Transactions:
  
  Ensure that there are no open transactions or processes that are still referencing the handling unit. If there are, you may need to complete or cancel those transactions before attempting to delete the HU.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Support:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration or the appropriate steps to take, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for assistance.
